Want to learn more?

Check out our blog! We share tips and tricks to help you on your modern quilting journey, and there are lots of inspirational photos.

We have an exciting lineup of program topics, challenges, and special events coming in 2019. We’re going to learn about designing our own fabric, using transparency as a design element in modern quilts, sewing tricky seams, and more.

Join us Thursday, Sept. 20 to kick off a new series of events! Handcrafted Happy Hour is great opportunity to get better acquainted with your ChattMQG guild mates, and to meet other artists working with various fiber-related mediums in the Chattanooga area.

This month’s program is all about alternate materials you can use in modern quilts. Join us Saturday, Sept. 8 as we explore fabrics such as soft double gauze, tough oilcloth, and everything in between.

Join us Saturday, August 11 at 10 a.m. as we examine an array of binding and finishing techniques for modern quilts. Karen Downer will show us how to speed up an old standby—the single fold—and we’ll look at two ways to face a quilt. Karen will also demonstrate how to ‘birth’ a quilt, how to frame one with fabric, and how to add faux piping to a binding.
